Free Online Allergy Awareness Courses
TrichoCare Education & Colourstart join forces.
To mark Allergy Awareness Week running from 22–28 April, TrichoCare Education have teamed up with Colourstart, the UK’s leading professional allergy test, to give away £10,000 of free Allergy Awareness training, for hairdressers who want to develop their skills.
All the information is bite-sized and available online to learn at your own leisure. It takes just an hour to complete, giving hair professionals a practical introduction to allergy;
- How the immune system works.
- The main types of allergic reaction (including to hair colour ingredients such as PPD).
- The difference between irritation and allergy.
- Common triggers in everyday life.
- Clear steps to take if a client or colleague shows signs of an allergic reaction.
The course is normally £65, and on completion, you can download an official TrichoCare Education CPD certificate.

Is The Course For You?
It is specially designed for anyone who works in the hair profession: stylists, colour experts, barbers, juniors, apprentices and reception teams.
If you’re a hairdresser you are more likely to encounter allergy in your everyday work, both in yourself and in your clients. It’s estimated that a third of people in the UK live with an allergy. Up to 20% of those with allergies live with a severe form of their condition, and struggle daily with the fear of a possible attack, which can be severe.
“It’s vital that everyone in the industry understands the mechanics of allergy to help them make good decisions on behalf of them and the people they work with as well as their clients. Increasing awareness and knowledge helps build trust in our sector, giving us the knowledge and confidence to work to increased standards,”
– Nick Plunkett, Colourstart’s CEO.
